Jet Tila on Technique, Pad Thai, and His Grandmother's Soup

Chef, TV star, and cookbook author Jet Tila's parents helped bring Thai food to the United States, and he's done his part in introducing others to Asian food, too. Tila tells Homemade host Martie Duncan about balancing flavors in a stir fry, using tamarind, and cooking with his family. The host of the Emmy- and James Beard-nominated show "Ready, Jet Cook" also shares his career highlights: competing against Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and showing Anthony Bourdain around Thai Town on "No Reservations."
